About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a sudden change or feels intimidated by authority figures and 'the rules.' It is a comforting choice for children who are worried about their school environment changing or who simply need to see a family unit working together to solve a problem with humor and wit. The story follows Mr Tick, a dedicated teacher who runs a tiny school for his own six children. When they receive news that small schools are being shut down, the family doesn't panic. Instead, they use their creativity to outsmart the stern school inspectors through a series of hilarious and clever 'unusual lessons.' It is a lighthearted celebration of family bonds and resilience that proves even the most official-looking problems can be solved with a bit of imagination and teamwork. Perfect for ages 5 to 7, it turns a potentially scary situation into a playful game of wits.
